The Female Lead Keeps Breaking Her Own Persona - Chapter 4

Qu Anruo was happy, thinking she was finally useful, and eagerly poured the drink for Gu Jingyun.

Gu Jingyun brought the dishes to the table and said, “Time to eat.”

【Host, you are so lucky. The food Gu Jingyun makes is delicious.】 666 said.

Hearing 666’s words, Qu Anruo was even more eager for the tempting looking dishes on the table.

Halfway through the meal, a phone call suddenly came in. Qu Anruo stood up, her voice full of apologies: “Excuse me, I need to take this.”

She went outside. It was Secretary Zhang calling her.

“Miss, we have signed several new artists at the company. There is a business dinner tonight, and Chairman Qu asked me to take you along.” Zhang Zhou said, looking at the artists they had just signed.

“Okay, I’ll be back shortly.” After saying that, Qu Anruo hung up the phone. She returned to the room and sat down on her chair.

Gu Jingyun noticed Qu Anruo’s mood seemed off and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Qu Anruo quickly shook her head: “Nothing, nothing.” It was a huge deal! The dinner tonight was the plot point where the heroine and the hero meet for the first time! If they met successfully, would the plot proceed the same as the original?

Qu Anruo mechanically shoveled food into her mouth. After a quick meal, she said goodbye to Gu Jingyun and headed back to the company.

Secretary Zhang saw Qu Anruo return to the company and bowed, “Miss.” “Mhm.” Qu Anruo returned to the office. Secretary Zhang brought the signed artists in.

There were five in total: three Omega, one Alpha, and one Beta. “Hello, President Qu,” they said after entering the office.

“Secretary Zhang, leave the door open.” Although she hadn’t differentiated yet, she still needed to be discreet. It wouldn’t look good if so many artists gathered in a company president’s office. Secretary Zhang opened the door, realizing his oversight. Since Qu Anruo hadn’t differentiated, he hadn’t thought much about it. Miss truly was trained by Chairman Qu.

“My apologies, President Qu, I will be more careful next time,” Secretary Zhang said, coming over to Qu Anruo. Qu Anruo nodded.

Qu Anruo looked at the artists in front of her and said with satisfaction, “All quite good.”

Gu Jingyun came to the company intending to ask about her upcoming work, only to see Qu Anruo in the office looking at the people in front of her as if she were selecting consorts.

【Host! The heroine is outside the door!】 666 sensed Gu Jingyun outside and frantically warned Qu Anruo.

Qu Anruo turned her head and saw Gu Jingyun outside: “…”

She rushed out the door and quickly explained, “Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding! I didn’t do anything!” But Gu Jingyun looked at her hesitantly, as if she didn’t believe her. Qu Anruo truly had no way to defend herself right now.

Gu Jingyun looked at Qu Anruo’s anxious expression and suddenly wanted to tease her: “Misunderstanding about what?” She deliberately pretended not to know anything.

Qu Anruo thought she was overthinking and awkwardly coughed a few times, saying, “Nothing.” “Right, Sister, I’ve arranged an assistant for you.” Qu Anruo said, calling the assistant. Shortly after, the assistant came upstairs.

The assistant saw Gu Jingyun and quickly greeted her: “Hello, Miss Gu.”

“This is Yuanyuan, your lifestyle assistant from now on,” Qu Anruo introduced to Gu Jingyun.

【Host, take the heroine to the dinner party tonight. A very famous director will be casting roles there, and the heroine’s first movie is by that director.】

The sudden voice of 666 made Qu Anruo realize she couldn’t escape this plot point.

After the artists left, Qu Anruo pulled Gu Jingyun to sit on the sofa: “Sister, there’s a dinner party tonight. I’ll take you with me.”

“Do I need to prepare anything?” Qu Anruo shook her head and said, “No need. Secretary Zhang will prepare things for us.”

Qu Anruo was very bored at the company. Secretary Zhang had handled all the initial work, so she could only keep the ready to leave Gu Jingyun to chat with her. “Sister~ Just stay with me at the company~” she said, shaking Gu Jingyun’s arm.

Unable to resist Qu Anruo’s pleading, Gu Jingyun agreed: “Alright.”

Qu Anruo happily asked Secretary Zhang to prepare some snacks for them. Qu Anruo ate the snacks and asked, “Sister, would you like to shoot a variety show, a movie, or a TV series?”

“Anything is fine, it depends on the company’s arrangements.” Gu Jingyun actually thought that having a role to film was enough. She was passionate about acting, but unfortunately, without a background before, she only played small parts or minor female roles, except for the one she had just finished.

Qu Anruo pondered this, thinking about the heroine’s later plot in her mind.

“President Qu, Miss Gu.” Secretary Zhang handed the formal dresses to the two of them, and then, to avoid suspicion, had the few female Beta assistants enter before he left.

“President Qu, Miss Gu. Do you need our help?”

“No, you can go out first.” Qu Anruo didn’t like interacting with strangers, so she told them to leave.

Qu Anruo handed the dress to Gu Jingyun: “Sister, you can change in the fitting room inside.”

After Gu Jingyun entered the fitting room, she found a small box tucked into the dress. She opened the box and found a pair of slightly ascetic looking gold rimmed glasses. After putting on the dress, Gu Jingyun also put on the glasses.

When Gu Jingyun came out, Qu Anruo was stunned.

The light streamed through the glass, illuminating Gu Jingyun. The white shirt’s collar was unbuttoned, revealing her delicate collarbone. The sleeves were loosely rolled up at the wrists, simple yet beautiful, with a hint of indescribable sexiness. Especially the glasses on Gu Jingyun’s face made her look like an elegant, sophisticated rogue.

Qu Anruo walked up to Gu Jingyun and praised, “Beautiful!”

“Then Anruo, go try yours on and let your sister take a look.” Stunned by Gu Jingyun, Qu Anruo quickly picked up her dress and entered the fitting room upon hearing this.

Qu Anruo’s dress was pink, which Qu Hanwen had clearly chosen. Qu Anruo silently complained about the color in her heart. When Qu Anruo put it on and saw herself in the mirror, she regretted it; she looked completely like a child!

After a while, seeing Qu Anruo hadn’t come out, Gu Jingyun knocked on the door.

“Coming right up!” Qu Anruo took a deep breath and opened the door.

Qu Anruo was wearing a pink strapless mini-dress. Her brown, slightly wavy hair naturally draped over her chest, making her look tender and cute. Qu Anruo, with a red face, walked over to Gu Jingyun. It had been a long time since she had worn pink clothes, and wearing it at this age felt a bit embarrassing.

“Cute.” Gu Jingyun complimented. Hearing Gu Jingyun’s words, Qu Anruo’s cheeks and her long, pale neck behind them flushed completely, a beautiful sight of rosy white.

Qu Anruo quickly changed the subject: “Sister, is there anything about the dress that doesn’t fit?”

Gu Jingyun shook her head. “Then we’ll set off.” Qu Anruo said, then asked Secretary Zhang to come up and pick them up.

Qu Anruo linked arms with Gu Jingyun and entered the hotel, looking delicate and demure. As soon as they entered, the two instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Coupled with Qu Anruo’s sudden smile, she became the focus of the crowd. She truly looked more Omega than the Omegas present.

Qu Anruo, looking so much like an Omega, made it hard for anyone to imagine she would differentiate into an Alpha.

Because of Qu Anruo’s dressing, appearance, and stature, which made her look too much like a child, the old-timers at the hotel still thought of her as the little Qu Anruo who used to follow Qu Hanwen to banquets.

Just then, sounds of surprise came from outside, from a man and a woman.

“President Su, President Su is here!” Instantly, the Omegas who heard the noise swarmed towards him. Only the remaining Alphas and some Betas stayed where they were.

【Host, the male lead has appeared.】 666 suddenly popped up to remind Qu Anruo.

That guy who just loves to smirk menacingly is the male lead? Qu Anruo wondered in her heart. As soon as Su Haodang entered the hotel, he saw the person who looked familiar to him: “Miaomiao?” He called out softly, disbelievingly.

He walked up to Gu Jingyun and, squeezing Qu Anruo aside, realized Gu Jingyun was an Alpha. “No, you’re not Miaomiao.” Su Haodang shook his head and said.

Gu Jingyun frowned, looking at the hysterical man who had just bumped Qu Anruo aside.

Good grief, how did this person bump her aside for no reason? Qu Anruo rubbed her painfully bumped shoulder, wincing. If Gu Jingyun hadn’t caught her, she definitely would have fallen to the floor and made a fool of herself.

“Sir, you almost knocked me over,” Qu Anruo said angrily, seeing that Su Haodang hadn’t even apologized.

Su Haodang only cared about who Gu Jingyun was right now and completely ignored Qu Anruo. He perfunctorily said, “Oh, I didn’t see.”

“You!” Qu Anruo clutched her chest in anger and collapsed into Gu Jingyun’s arms. She whispered in Gu Jingyun’s embrace, “Quick, contact Secretary Zhang for me.”

Before Gu Jingyun could make the call, Secretary Zhang had already noticed the commotion.

“Miss, who pushed you?” Secretary Zhang’s eyes flashed with anger upon seeing the daughter of his own chairman being pushed over.

“He…” Qu Anruo pointed at Su Haodang, her voice trembling.

Su Haodang had personally seen that Qu Anruo hadn’t fallen to the floor. He looked at Qu Anruo’s expression and said, “Don’t slander me!”

“President Su, do you think our Qu family is easy to bully?” Secretary Zhang looked at the unrepentant Su Haodang with a hint of pity in his eyes.

“What’s going on?” The manager, seeing the situation escalating, came downstairs to check: “Ah, Secretary Zhang. A pleasure to meet you.” He grabbed Secretary Zhang’s hand and bowed and scraped.

“It’s just a small matter, no need to trouble you personally.” Secretary Zhang was pragmatic and said one sentence that made the manager understand this was not something he should interfere with.

“Of course, of course. Then I’ll be leaving now, Secretary Zhang.” The manager said, and without waiting for Su Haodang’s reaction, he quickly ran off.

“President Su, it seems necessary to pay a visit to Chairman Su and Madam Su,” Secretary Zhang said, then smiled and allowed Gu Jingyun to help Qu Anruo leave.

【Host! Well done!】 666 said excitedly. 【That director has already noticed the heroine!】

【That’s good.】 Qu Anruo breathed a sigh of relief. It was worth acting so pitifully.
